Continuing education courses are necessary in Florida to maintain a valid license. Renewal is required every two years and can be done online. Most schools offer a completion or achievement certificate to graduates of each type of specialty, such as hair styling, nail care, or makeup artistry.  Salon stylists provide a variety of hair care and beauty services. Found primarily in a barbershop, beauty parlor, or full-service salon, stylists may be employed for specialized treatments, regular appointments, or special occasions, such as weddings or graduations. To remain competitive, stylists may expand their repertoire to include other salon services. Salon stylists typically rely on repeat business and regular customers. Skilled stylists are able to recognize problems of the hair or scalp and recommend appropriate treatments. Other amenities a stylist may provide:

• Manicures 
• Pedicures 
• Waxing 
• Massage 
• Facials 
• Makeup application

Constant growth, change, and improvement. You will gain pride, skill, and confidence in your career.
